    Dual Monitor Support

    Does FG support dual monitors?

    If so, how do I get the map onto the 2nd monitor?

    Thank you

    Don't maximize FG, but stretch it across the two monitors.

    Which is a pain if your 2 monitors don't support the same resolution .. really wish FG would do this natively

    With the current architecture FG will not do this natively. You will have to wait until sometime after the FG Unity release.

    As far as I'm aware, the Unity engine does not allow multiple windows per application. So, FGU will be a single window tabletop application. If you want to spread across monitors, stretching the window will be the solution.

    Ah, Ok, I was thinking it allowed for independent windows like Gimp, but that was based on nothing more than some random impression I picked up. Not any real knowledge of the platform.

    That's...bad news. But I suppose it's possible to have un/dockable windows? So you could move character sheets or maps or whatever "out" of the table area?

    That would be multiple windows. So, from what Moon Wizards said above, this wouldn't be possible.

    I'd be happy with just the ability to go full-screen on two monitors of differing resolution. Having a 4K monitor and a 1980x1200 monitor doesn't play well with stretching.
